Sunday -- time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

================================

THE ABSENT-MINDED PROFESSOR

 

After class, the absent-minded professor asked if anyone had seen his coat.

"You have it on, sir," he was told.

"Oh, good," he said.  "Otherwise, I might have gone off without it."

---

     The professor looked at one of his students.  "Didn't you have a brother who took this course last year?" he asked.

     "No, sir," said the student.  "I'm just taking it again."

     "My word!" said the professor.  "Amazing resemblance!"

:P

How do I clear this? I do not have a lawyer. 


I have filled a form with my congress person since the 1st of this month - no response.

 

I have written a letter to USCIS stating clearly that my daughter received her GC before me and before officially receiving I360 approval online or on paper - no response.

 

My PF is due to expire in May and I am about to enter Nursing School and do need either the PF or GC for financial aid.

 

What do I do! I am totally confused

I am sorry I can't help you. I would continue reaching out to USCIS or on your interview ask the officer to clear this situation.

 

I just remember that situation that I read when that person applied for naturalization and he was denied because his greencard was issued before their petition approval and he got screwed up. This is a very complicated situation and most likely only a lawyer can guide you.

Hello, I do have a question. Me and my daughter got our GC already. I know that VAWA GC recipients are eligible to apply N-400 after 3 yrs (if spouse was USC). My question is, my daughter is going to aged out by the time I most likely gets naturalized, will she still be eligible in 3yrs or now she have to wait 5yrs if she is applying N-400 on her own? Thank you.

So, I live in Texas but my interview was held in Nashville where my lawyer is, my location got mixed up but I decided to attend the interview there instead of waiting and having it rescheduled with all the delays that comes with it.

That is not true.  Prior to COVID 19 every VAWA based I-485 had an interview.  

I didn’t have one. I recently got my green card after 2 years since 360 approval

Your daughter applies for N-400 on her own at 3 year mark as long as she is 18 yrs old or more at that time.
